ko ko ni iru (we are here) is a first self-published art book by BLOND, furniture remake project.
Composed of tearing-paper-like collage and cinematic images of furniture installation view, this book gives you an impression like abstract picture book, allowing you to read however you like, or wherever to start with. Every time you turn the pages, fresh air from the pictured BLOND’s furniture freely rises, new story unfolds. You might find there what “ko ko ni iru” is.
The world in this book seems silent at first glance, but as you strain your ears, you may realise there are actually full of sound from the furniture.

BlondFurniture Remake Project, by collaboration with Maki, designer of Flanger, an art project inspired by used-clothes, and Ryo Aoyagi of HORA AUDIO, who has engaged in activities using woodwork.
“Creating something new is like listening to new sound the thing makes. If you sharpen your senses, you’ll find things are breathing, and change its appearance continuously and begin to play its original music.”
